The Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Company (BSR) is targeting the production of 6.8 million tonnes of products this year, the deputy general director of the company, Nguyen Van Hoi, said.

He noted that the Dung Quat oil refinery plant – one of the company's major plants – is operating at 105 per cent of its designed capacity (6.5 million tonnes per year).

The company will also have a test run of its sulphur collection factory – a key factor in the oil refining process – this September and will start the project to expand and upgrade the Dung Quat oil refinery plant.

The company has stored 1.2 million oil barrels and plans to build the National Crude Oil Store.
